IASC Code of conduct

Version 2025 – AEN:

The International Asatru Summercamp (IASC) has the aim of bringing together Asatruar for the furthering of understanding between Asatruar, the knowledge of the different aspects and practices of Asatru and hence expanding our horizon on Asatru today.

As a participant at the IASC you commit yourself to comply with the IASC Code of Conduct.

1.) We show respectful behavior to each other: The Mission Statement of AEN https://www.asatru-europe.network/mission-statement/ is the primary guideline for everyone’s experience and conduct at the Camp. Treat all participants with respect, dignity, and courtesy. We reject any form of racism, discrimination and abuse based on ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or other personal characteristics. We support and welcome LGBTQ+ visibility.

2.) We all take care of children and their safety: Still parents/guardians must supervise their children all times. Only parents/guardians may photograph/take videos of their own children. Children’s areas are alcohol-free and non-smoking zones.

3.) Participation in rituals and ceremonies: Participation in any ritual, ceremony or spiritual practice is always voluntary. As well as when drinking horns are passed in rituals, there is no pressure to partake. Register planned rituals with the IASC Council.

4.) IASC Council Role: The Council serves as a mediating body between different groups and individuals. All problems and violations within the Code of Conduct will be taken care of by the IASC Council, which will make decisions regarding camp operations. Report any concerns to Council members in person, or by email (council@asatru-summercamp.org), or via the feedback box.

5.) Consequences for Violations of CoC: Violations of Code of Conduct and frithgarth of IASC may result in warnings, temporary exclusion from activities, requirement to leave the Summer Camp without refund, or even ban from future events (depending on the form of violation). The IASC Council will determine appropriate consequences in each individual case. The Council’s decisions cannot be contested.

6.) Community Responsibility: Creating a positive, safe, and inclusive community environment at IASC is our goal and shared responsibility. We acknowledge the diverse backgrounds, traditions, and perspectives within Asatru. And we strive to create accessible environments for children, elderly and individuals with disabilities.

7.) Environmental Responsibility – take care for Mother Nature: Respect the campsite premises and its surrounding natural areas. Properly dispose waste, recycle, and participate in community work to maintain and clean the campsite when requested, and according to the rules of the premise.

8.) Each of us responsible for our deeds: The organizers of IASC aren’t responsible for the acts and/or deeds of individual participants at IASC. IASC and its organizers carry no collective responsibility. They are also not responsible for damage arising during IASC and inflicted on persons or personal property.

9.) Photography and Privacy Policy: General photography/video is permitted on the campgrounds. But before making photos or videos during rituals or workshops, please take individuals’ consent about it. If the person has a “No Photo/Video” badge, please respect this.
